Jane’s resume reads like the Whose-Who of American writers: Contrib-uting writer to the NY Times for eighteen years; Senior Writer / Edi-tor of the University of Connecticut Foundation; Director of University Communications – University of New Haven; Bureau Chief / Editor among other positions at Hartford Courant for twelve years; AP; Con-necticut Mirror; NBC/Today. And, her articles span every conceivable topic: legal; witness protection; weddings; theater and too many to mention here. She is writing her first fictional novel. It is a historical fiction. “[It’s the story] of a little-known heroine who lost her parents in the French and

Indian War – her father was killed; her mother was kid-napped – and she was raised by rel-atives…. married a Virginia farmer, learned how to use artillery through him, and stepped up to the cannon when the cannoneer and matross were felled.” In this story, in which she spends at least one and half hours writing each day, she admits the characters are not entirely made-up. Jane be-lieves, “the most believable charac-

We are switching the date of the annual CAPA summer picnic to June 15. It will be at the same placed as last year: Chuck Miceli’s house at 22 Maple Lane, Wolcott from 10:30-1:30. (Make sure your GPS instructions are to Maple LANE.) This is a potluck picnic, so please bring something to share. Last year’s event was well attend-ed – and well fed. Chuck gave all interested people a boat tour of the lake (see photo) – maybe we can talk him into doing it again!

SW CAPA Report By Joe Keeney

Twenty-one mem-bers attended the meeting on May 13th hosted by Rich Colon. Jim Alkon of Meryl Moss Media / Book-Trib was the guest speaker. He talked about ideas and expectations once the final word is written. The decision to market alone or sort through a plethora of marketing and promotional programs was the thrust of Jim’s talk.. Brian Giolele of the Shelton Herald met with Joe Keeney Thursday, May 16th to discuss the Anthology and SWCAPA. From that talk it was de-cided that our notification would be printed each month in his paper. The other good news is that the article comes out by the end of this Month for June.

Our April 15th meeting included a visit by CAPA President, Dan Utti, as we continued to discuss how CAPA may help individual members, and how members are able to strengthen our SE CAPA chapter. Individual members are volunteering to host/conduct meetings, communicate, identify opportunities to present/sell books, and line up guest speakers. This is only the beginning of how each of us may band together to forge a vibrant, supportive group where information is freely shared and all grow stronger together.

April Notes from SE CAPA

By Elizabeth Saede

Beginning in May, our borrowing library of member books and author help books is available for free but those who borrow a book must pro-vide a review for the author. Special care is suggested when reviewing on Amazon.com. Authors are encour-aged to donate a book and to borrow books to read and review, not only to support one another, but also to know one another. Phone conferences are tools used dis-cuss marketing strategies and oppor-tunities. We’re identifying author genres to facilitate smaller group dis-cussions and are improving communi-cation through our SE CAPA group website, e-mail & social media. Tip of the day: Individually register-ing with the S.E. CT Cultural Coali-tion (in New London) provides free access to marketing opportunities and resources. Visit, CultureSECT.org

ters possess aspects of ourselves or people we know.” She finds the toughest thing in writing fiction is getting started as opposed to writing non-fiction (where the real challenge is writing high quality stories accurately and on deadline). To overcome inertia: she follows a generative method she calls truly amazing: “I write something un-related each day us-ing a list of ideas I keep [on hand] until the inertia is broken, then I return to my original work.” Jane shared that besides curing inertia, if she could start her book over, “I would plan it out first and then veer from the plan.” She counts her curiosity about peo-ple, human behavior and history as the inspiration to write along with her education: she has a Master’s degree in Fine Arts / writing from Sarah Lawrence College and a Bachelor’s degree from the Uni-versity of Missouri—Columbia School of Journalism. Traditional publishing is her first choice, second is Indie publishing. “Women’s rights, the environment, compassion and understanding of others unlike me” is her passion. Her hobbies are writing, reading, gardening, yoga, Pilates, travel and the theater. Jane is married with four children and she lives in Glastonbury.

ability to perform and help you re-lax while you are on the air. You have heard it said that practice makes perfect. However, that is not necessarily true. Practice makes permanent, so you must make sure you are rehearsing the right things. Before you appear on any media event, engage the services of a pro-fessional media trainer so the tech-niques you make permanent are the right ones. Media training will help calm you down, assist in your un-derstanding of the process and sim-plify your television and radio ex-perience. Establish distribution If people want to buy your book, it should be available for them to pur-chase. The host will generally con-clude the show by asking you where people can obtain it. So, be-fore you begin promoting your title, create distribution for it through bookstores, Amazon.com, your website and/or your toll-free num-ber. Most purchasing is done on impulse and, if the momentum is lost, it is difficult to recover. Producers and hosts want interest-ing and compelling guests, and in the final analysis they are not look-ing for books or authors. They are seeking to create a good show for their audiences. Convince them that you have something to offer their audiences, prepare yourself for a successful interview and make your book available to those who want to buy it. Then you have done all you can to manage the events that are under your control. Brian Jud is the Founder of CAPA and Executive Director of the Asso-ciation of Publishers for Special Sales (www.bookapss.org).He was the host of the TV show The Book Authority for 13 years, a guest on over 1200 shows, and is a media trainer.

Authors rely on the repetition of a message on free media such as appearances on television and radio to increase the sales of their books. The planning of this exposure is important because the media like to interview authors on relevant and timely topics. Here are some tips that can make your broadcast appearances more productive. Is your topic right for the media? People like to be informed and enter-tained, and they want their infor-mation to be timely. Therefore, books about current events are good for shows. Other topics that are well re-ceived by producers are books on politics, sports, humor, controversy and relationships. People want to learn new theories or new slants on old theories. As Rita Thompson (Field Producer, CBS News) ex-plains, "Controversial books with interesting drama will catch my at-tention." Conversely, poetry, fiction and children’s books do not usually lend themselves to prolonged discus-sion and authors of such books are not sought as talk-show guests. Dollars and sense Although media appearances are free, you will have expenses related to traveling and promoting your shows. Rarely will you make a profit as a result of your first few shows since you will be creating awareness and a reputation leading to future sales. Therefore, view your expenditures of time and money as an investment in your next book. Be prepared The key to any good performance is preparation. Media guests need to know what they are going to say dur-ing all their performances and must practice their delivery of each word beforehand. Adequate preparation will make you more confident in your

The sincerest form of flattery is imitation, and it’s a great way to learn to write better, too. If you’re an Ern-est Hemingway fan, and even if you’re not, there was once an an-nual International Imitation Heming-way Competition wherein writers could submit a well-written page of “bad Hemingway”. There were only two rules for the contest. Entrants had to mention Harry's Bar & Grill, one of Hemingway's favorite haunts, and their stories had to be funny. The savvy writer could go a step further and mimic Hemingway’s clipped, minimalistic style and em-ploy his iceberg theory, which he learned in journalism and retained in writing fiction, where a story’s meaning is given greater impact when it’s buried under the surface of the work, with just enough signifi-cance visible above the waterline to point to more beneath. So why is it important to go beyond imitation? Several years ago, I was at a Connecticut Authors & Publish-er’s Association Writers Conference sitting at lunch with four well-known literary agents who represent-ed both fiction and nonfiction. As we sat and talked and they began talking among themselves, I receded into the background. As a fly on the wall, I heard them describe the hard-ships of being an agent, with hun-dreds of queries to sift through daily. What they lamented most was the dearth of fresh ideas—for novels and

nonfiction. No one was opposed to using the classic themes of litera-ture, such as the hero’s quest, or popular nonfiction topics, such as yoga and health. What nettled them was that few writers took the time to take those classic themes and cur-rent topics a step further and devel-op them using fresh perspectives. One example of a classic theme em-ployed innovatively, in this case for a screenplay, was the use of Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella Heart of Darkness as inspiration for the 1979 epic Apocalypse Now, on the Vi-etnam War. Even with a different setting and era than the original work, Apocalypse offered a familiar archetypal underpinning while revi-talizing the original story, making the movie a timeless study in the cost and complexities of war. There’s nothing new under the sun, but you can bring your original take to an old favorite. As an exercise in originality and intentionality, you might choose a favorite story, song or film and craft a paragraph de-scribing how you would “remake” the piece in your style, with your viewpoint. You can use the ideas of others by imitation; just make sure to give them your unique spin. Happy writing!

Laura Ingalls Wilder Laura Ingalls Wilder was born into

a Wisconsin pioneer family. She drew on her childhood experiences on the American frontier to create the hugely popular Little House on the Prai-rie television series. She first honed her storytelling skills as a schoolteach-er and then as a writer and editor. When her family lost much of its net worth in the stock market crash of 1929, she began work on what would become her first book, Little House in the Big Woods, published in 1932, when Wilder was sixty-four. She then completed eight autobiographical chil-dren’s novels.

Harriet Doerr was born in the 1900s

and grew up wealthy as the grand-daughter of a California railroad devel-oper. She attended Stanford University, moved to Mexico, where they stayed until his death in 1972. Afterwards, she moved back to California, finished her degree at Stanford, and drafted her first novel, Stones for Ibarra, a story inspired by Mexico. The book received the National Book Award for First Work of Fiction when it was published in 1984. Doerr was seventy-four

Tom Finch

Tom Finch, a former BBC political journalist and communications director for the Refugee Council, is the author of the 2013 debut novel, House of Journalists, published when he was fifty-one. “Writing is obviously a soli-tary exercise,” Finch wrote. “If it’s something you turn to in middle age, you often don’t have many or any con-tacts in the literary world.” Finch and dozens more novelists who first pub-lished after age forty formed The Prime Writers, a group that Finch de-scribed as existing to help “people in their ‘prime’ to realize it is certainly not too late to write that novel and get it published.”

President Ulysses S. Grant Mostly all of the Presidents of the

United States have written at least one book. Ulysses S. Grant created his renowned Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant in his final years. He rushed to complete the work be-fore succumbing to throat cancer in hopes that the book would support his family in perpetuity. Despite be-ing in significant pain during the memoir’s creation, Grant regularly completed dozens of pages per day. The book was published (by Mark Twain) upon Grant’s death in 1885 and quickly became a bestseller. Grant was 63 when he passed.

Michelle Obama, former First

Lady, published Becoming in 2018 when she was fifty-four, and it im-mediately became a best seller. It divulges some details that the Obamas had not discussed publicly before. She struggles to reconcile the clear-eyed realism of her up-bringing, brought about by necessi-ty, with the glamorous, previously unthinkable life she has now. She wrote that she long ago learned to recognize the "universal challenge of squaring who you are with where you come from and where you want to go."

The ABCs of the Editing Process: What is a good age to begin writing?

By Roberta J. Buland

How old should you be to write a book? What is a good age? Most people have been writing since childhood: the alphabet, words, thank you notes that your parents were wont to pun-ish you for if you did not, pen pal letters, and more recently, emails, texts, and instant messaging. What-ever one has written becomes the basis for subsequent writing. Plato wrote, “Those who tell the stories rule society.” If you want to “rule” in any sense of the word, begin writing! We know that the power of the press is all around us. Whether one writes fiction or non-fiction, the writing is the story. Jerry Labriola

From pioneers to immigrants to presidents, many men and women have published his/her first work in the second half of one’s life. CA-PA’s own Dr. Jerry Labriola, past president and author of over twenty novels, began writing and publish-ing after he officially retired from his medical practice, in his sixties. Other examples follow.

Frank McCourt’s first

book, Angela’s Ashes, won a Pulitz-er Prize, earned a National Book Critics Circle Award, and was adapted into a major motion pic-ture. He was 66 when the book was published. It recounted his upbring-ing in poverty in Ireland and the United States. He penned several more books before his death, in-cluding ’Tis in 1999 and Teacher Man in 2005.

A great author presentation is ener-getic, entertaining, and educational. Audience participation is measured by body language, laughter, and facial expressions. Writers are great storytellers on paper but aren’t all natural speakers. Since anxiety and eagerness feel the same way to the body so why not em-brace the role? Here are Peak Per-formance Protocol tips from li-censed psychotherapist Elaine Bentley Baughn. • Prepare a good outline and practice speaking aloud

without reading from or memorizing a script so you become comfortable in this new role.

• Time your presentation and leave time for Q&A.

• Dress comfortably but in an interesting way that is ap-propriate for your topic.

• Eat, use the bathroom or apply whatever calming rou-tine helps you to feel your best. Command the space by setting up away from doors with a solid wall behind you and a full view of the room.

• Theater-style seating is ideal.

• Bring your own tablecloth, business cards & visual aids.

• Call ahead to verify what technology is available but bring your own layers of redundant technology.

• Practice setting up and using your technology and do a tech check prior to audience arrival.

• Ask someone to help with this, until you become com-fortable with it.

• Be prepared to speak without visual aids as well as speaking longer or shorter than expected.

• Highlight the most important points and include stories to illustrate content.

• Ask a question.

• Practice getting back on topic if an audience member attempts to hijack your talk. You don’t need to be per-fect, but will become more comfortable and confident with practice.

• As audiences learn about you and your book, you’ll open doors to greater book sales.

Reception Honoring SW-CAPA

Overcoming Autism By Georgiana Thomas

Overcoming Autism is the memoir of a high-functioning autistic wom-an who grew up in New York City. Being incredibly sensitive to noise was a major challenge. Ironically, a special type of audio therapy helped her move forward in life. We wanted to bring some of Geor-giana’s struggle to the cover to evoke emotion in the reader. The messy scribbles almost chasing her feel both threatening and messy, just how she often felt growing up. This chaos purposely remains at the bottom, or behind her, to allow the girl to escape the chaos. The simple yet softer type is a welcome and hopeful contrast.
